Wednesday, members of the Illinois House voted to override Governor Pat Quinn's veto of legislation that would weaken the state’s Freedom of Information Act.  The proposal will now head to the Senate, where a three-fifths majority is required to override Quinn’s veto.  According to the bill's sponsor, state Representative Barbara Currie, the legislation would give municipalities a way to address FOIA requests that are considered to be "harassing”.  But the Citizen Advocacy Center is urging state Senators to vote “no” on the override. The Center’s executive director Maryam Judar tells WDCB News Reporter Gary Zidek Illinois’ FOIA requirements should stay the way they are.
